Military reports

On Wednesday evening, Ukraine inflicted another blow to the occupied new Kakhovka - presumably, on the Russian ammunition depot in the area of the Sokol plant.

In the morning, on Wednesday, the Russian army produced 28 strokes on various settlements of the Nikolaev region - at least five civilians died. In the afternoon, air alarm was declared throughout Ukraine - the blow fell on an industrial enterprise in Zaporozhye, there are 14 wounded, people can still remain under the rubble. In the evening, the explosions were heard in Kharkov. The number of victims of the Saturday of the Russian strike on a five -story building in the watch Yar of the Donetsk region grew to 48.

The leadership of the so -called “LPR” announced the output of the Russian troops to the outskirts of Seversk and Soledar in the Bakhmut district of the Donetsk region, Ukraine did not comment on the message. These cities are located about 30 km from Lisichansk, where the Russian Ministry of Defense launched Western journalists, look .

The State Border Service of Ukraine reports the detention of the Belarusian border guard, who, running away from the persecution, crossed the border to join the Ukrainian army. In recent weeks in Belarus, the movement of troops, equipment and flights of a military operation revived. Advisor to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mikhail Podolyak said that Russia was drawing in Belarus into war not only to attract additional strength and weapons, but also to weaken Lukashenko.

The additional power of Russia is obviously necessary. Contractors write reports about dismissal ( this is a conversation with the vice president of the Free Buryatia Foundation, which helps them to do it), losses-let them talk about at the regional level-do not fall (in Volgograd they reported the death of the first female military personnel from Russia), they have not yet been sent freshly baked conscripts to the front, and everything is not easy with the “volunteers”.

As follows from the grandiose investigation of Medusa about the latest trends in the Russian mercenary market, a special “Sobyaninsky Regiment” has been formed in the Moscow Region (it is financed from the city budget, people from the so -called “DPR” are recruited, they are mainly recorded in it by non -holes) - similar regiments are formed in other regions. With the outbreak of war, all recruitment structures passed from the hands of private military companies to the state; At the front of a group of professional mercenaries, they simply attach to different army units, they suffer heavy losses and harshly criticize the army leadership for unprofessionalism. Evgeny Prigozhin, who finances the most famous PMC of Wagner, managed to regain his long -term conflict from the Ministry of Defense with the start of the war, with the beginning of the war (after the publication of the investigation, he managed to regain criminal cases against its authors).

There are no news about the centralized supply of Western weapons to Ukraine yet, but here is a story about the Latvian Twitter Initiative on the purchase of used special transport for the Ukrainian army and the forces of Teroboronds, but the story of the bicycles that the Danes donated to Ukrainians-the Urbanist from Copenhagen hopes that after the war Ukrainian cities will be restored already to restore the Ukrainian cities will be restored already Given the needs of cyclists.

Roscosmos went down to the ground

North Korea became the third country after Russia and Syria - a member of the UN, which recognized the independence of the so -called “LPR” and “DPR”. Kiev announced the breakdown of diplomatic relations with Pyongyang.

The head of the so -called “DPR” Denis Pushilin told the Russian press that more than a hundred fighters of the Ukrainian battalion “Azov” were “preparing” to the court in the territory subordinate to him. To another Russian news agency, he said that the death penalty in the “DPR” will be carried out through execution.

From Moscow, Dmitry Rogozin will be supervised by all these processes, the current head of Roskosmos: he is supposedly going to make an employee of the presidential administration, and after referenda to join all the occupied Ukrainian territories to Russia-to put Putin’s plenipotentiary with the powers of the deputy prime minister there. If, of course, it will be planted.

International Echo of War

At a meeting of military delegations of Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and representatives of the UN, an agreement was reached in Istanbul to create a coordination center for the export of Ukrainian grain. The final signing of the agreement is expected next week, the Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that the parties are “two steps” from him. Kuleba fears that Russia can interrupt negotiations at any time (Moscow puts forward requirements related to the weakening of sanctions), but so far they give restraint optimistic forecasts from Moscow.

Russia has already managed to achieve some messages: the European Commission published an additional management for EU countries for transit of goods from Russia, from which it follows that only transit should be prohibited by vehicles, and railway-passing (with the exception of military goods and goods that do not exceed the pre-war ones). Lithuania agreed with these explanations.

In the near future, the European Union will present a new package of sanctions against Russia - it will take a ban on gold imports, new personal restrictions and an expanded list of dual -purpose goods, the export of which is prohibited to Russia. According to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, now presiding in the EU, the seventh package of sanctions does not imply a ban on the import of Russian gas, since it will be destructive for the EU economy. Still: against the backdrop of a gas shortage created by a reduction in Russian supplies to the EU, Hungary announced a state of emergency in the field of energy and banned the export of firewood.

Germany proclaimed a complete abandonment of Russian coal from August 1 and Russian oil - from December 31, 2022 (this is a little more than that is required by pan -European sanctions). However, everything is not so simple with oil: according to Bloomberg , since the beginning of the Russian war, it began to make record supplies of oil products to the Middle East - more than a third of these supplies have been to the terminal in the UAE, where Russian fuel can be mixed with another and then calmly sold to the same Europe, which “refused” Russian oil. Nevertheless, the US is monitored in one way or another - the United States, for example, has already included Central Asian countries in the list of potential violators in order to ensure a closer observation of what is happening there.

The dollar rate for the first time since 2002 exceeded the euro, and this is also due to the war . The European Union in the sense of export is even profitable.

Russia has its own war

Firstly, with Fakes:

• The court in Moscow sent an independent politician Ilya Yashin to the pre-trial detention center -he was accused of distributing “fakes” about the Russian army in YouTube Star about Bucha. Many Moscow activists came to support Yashin to the court building, they began to detain them before the meeting. Here is the online “Mediazons” about what was happening in the courtroom (one of the bailiffs stood on a bench in front of the aquarium with Yashin to prevent journalists from taking good photos), here are comments of one of Yashin’s lawyers and several of his associates.
• In St. Petersburg, under the same article about “fakes”, an activist Vsevolod Korolev, who shot a film about the Russians who are persecuted under this article, was sent about “fakes” in a pre -trial detention center .
• One of the heroines of his film, Barnaul journalist Maria Ponomarenko, announced forced treatment in a psychiatric hospital, where she was sent for the examination: "Three Fsinists hold their hands and legs, and the nurse is inhabited."
• Arrested under the article on Fakes President of the Bar Chamber of Udmurtia Dmitry Talantov did not allocate a sleeping place, since the Moscow pre -trial detention center “Bear” was crowded. After this news diverged on the Internet, additional two -story bunks were brought into the talent of Talent.
• The criminal case of “fakes” was opened against the Rostov journalist Sergei Reznik, but he left Russia before the start of the war: in his hometown they began to pursue him more than ten years ago.
• A bad example is contagious: the Ministry of Defense of Tajikistan also proposed to introduce a punishment for the publication of "fakes" about the army.

Secondly, the war was declared “discreditors”, “extremists” and other hooligans:

• A resident of Pyatigorsk was fined 30 thousand rubles for damage to the Z sign on Mount Mashuk (“discrediting the Russian army”).
• A new administrative case under the article on “discrediting” was initiated against the former editor of Channel One Marina Ovsyannikova, who made an anti -war action on the air program.

Since then, Rashkin has managed to sentenced to a conditional time for the murder of an elk and deprive the mandate.
• The Nizhny Novgorod activist Alexander Gorelov was fined 20 thousand rubles for “organizing an illegal mass event”, expressed in the fact that he glued Putin’s image with the signature “killer” on the rear window of his “Lada Kalina”, and on the door - the poster “No War”. “Lada Kalina” stood at the parking lot for four months as a “material evidence”.
• Rosfinmonitoring was included in the list of extremists of Tyumen resident Kirill Martushev: in early March, he was sent to a pre -trial detention center in the case of calls for extremism for anti -war post.
• The list of terrorists and extremists of Rosfinmonitoring was also replenished by Elena Kuzmina-44 years of laboratory-microbiologist from Pskova. On July 11, she was charged with extremism for calls "for violent and destructive actions against President Putin." Here is her story .
• The Volgograd was arrested for seven days for the avatar in Votsap, on which he was photographed barefoot on Mamaev Kurgan (“petty hooliganism”).

Member of the Council of the Center for the Protection of Human Rights "Memorial" Alexander Cherkasov believes that the scope that has acquired repressions in Russia in recent months, "already resemble the late Soviet, post -Stalin regime."

A separate war is waged against the “stateizers”:

• In Moscow, on charges of Gosizmen, Nekto Timofeev V.V. was sent to Lefortovo. Nothing is known anymore. The affairs of the Stateizer are always classified.
• In Tomsk, the trial of physicist Alexander Lukanin began , who is accused of Gosizman by transferring some secrets by Kitai (after retirement, Lukanin taught at one of the Chinese universities). The scientist was arrested in September 2020, all this time he spent in Lefortovo.
• If in Russia, physicists are increasingly accused of Gosizmen, then in Belarus - journalists: it was for the “betrayal of the state” the Gomel Regional Court sentenced the Belsata journalist Katerina Andreev to eight and three months of the colony. At the moment, she is serving time for “organizing a gross violation of public order”, expressed in the fact that Andreeva, together with the operator, led a stream from a protest campaign.

Additional measures to “stabilize the situation”:

• The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia blocked another 23 sites, including the website of the Free Buryatia Foundation, which helps the military to break the contract from the Ministry of Defense and return home.
• The chairman of the CEC Ella Pamfilova called the threat to the election of Internet broadcasts from cameras installed in the territorial election commissions.
• The deputy head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Oleg Bocharov reported to overcome the shortage of office paper by refusing to bleach it. He claims that this is even good, because bleached paper is harmful to health ( but this is not true ).
• Putin's youngest daughter Katerina Tikhonova became the co -chair of the Coordinating Council for import substitution at the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
• The court in Moscow sent to the pre -trial detention center the former deputy head of the Ministry of Emergencies Andrei Gurovich in the case of abuse of authority during the construction of a covid hospital in the Arctic (supposedly it did not comply with climatic conditions). The defense believes that there are no grounds for persecution, because the hospital was built and took patients during the pandemic.

Everything else

• WHO warns of the new wave of Covid. The new Omcrone options, which now supplants all the rest, are not fatal than the previous ones, but more infectious: they are even sick that they have just had a previous strain option.

• Story. Two excerpts from the book of Peter Kozzens “The Earth will sob: as the Indians took America” (the Alpina Non-Fixes Publishing House): the first -about the campaign of the US Army to the leader of the Indians of the Sitting Bull, and the second dedicated to the politics that the United States pursued in relation to the vanquished Indians.
• Artists. Conversation with the founder of the Yav art group Anastasia Vladychkina about street art during the war-to the premiere of the “Nuclear Shadows” campaign in St. Petersburg. Or the monologue of Andrei Filippov recorded in 2019 about how he from a revolutionary who dreamed of overthrowing Brezhnev turned into a modern artist - the memory of the founder of “Klava”.
